What you need to know about your week long crewed charter but are afraid to ask ...
A list of questions for the crew you will be spending a week with:
Without a doubt any of the crewed charters listed on our website want to offer you the best possible vacation you have ever had. In order to do so, they will have to know what your likes and dislikes are. The crew is extremely good at what they do but they can not read your mind. We highly recommend using the "Have a question, Ask the Crew .." on every listing:

Use this feature freely. Your inquiry is emailed directly from the web site to the yacht.
- We would like to get to know you before we place a bid. Knowing you are busy, can you reply with your phone number and a convenient time for us to call you ? Please keep in mind we are located in California.
- My fiancee and I are in the process of planning our honeymoon. Can you accommodate "newlyweds" ?
- My husband and I are looking for a crewed yacht for our 20th wedding university. On a small boat how can we have a luxury vacation and enjoy our intimate private time?
- I\'ve only been on a boat once and that was when I was very little. What I remember the most about this trip was the "musty" smell. Do all boats smell like that ?
- My father who is in his eighties would like to us and our two kids on this trip. Do you think this is a good idea. ? He is a bit feeble and we are concerned he might hurt himself.
- I am very allergic to cats. Do you have any animals on board ?
- We have three very fussy kids with strange eating habits. Should I bring their food or are you able to accommodate their finicky diets ?
- Our kids are hyperactive. Is there enough for them to do ?
- We would like to go scuba diving. Can you accommodate us ?
- How many times should we eat out ?
- We would like to go to ......... and do this ....... Is it possible to do in one week ?
- Do we plan our own itinerary or will you ? Perhaps we should plan one together ?
- I understand from other websites that gratuities are expected. Is it true that is between 10 - 20 % ?
- Should we get travel insurance ? If yes, can you recommend a company ?
- What is your cancellation policy ?
- Can you accommodate vegetarians or vegans as well as my husband who loves steaks ?
- What should we bring - obviously as little as possible but is there anything specific we should bring ?
- What kind of activities are there in your area ?
- Your auction does not show any additional fees. Are there any hidden fees such as fuel, cruising permits, extra provisioning?
- We are planning our anniversary aboard your vessel. We would like to toast each other on that special day. Can we request a bottle of Champagne ? Is this included ?
- My husband loves photography. He would like to get up early to "catch the morning light" and go out "shooting". Is it possible for him to take the little tender and go out scouting by himself ? If not, would anyone on your crew be able to accommodate him ?
- Our flight does is not scheduled to land until 10 0\'clock at night. Should we get a hotel ? If you are still willing to pick us up that late, does that count as an extra day?
- Were interested in the flora and fauna of the area. Are you well versed or can you arrange a good guide?
- We are bird watchers. I want to have a bird guide arranged. Can you help with this?
- I am bringing two extra guests that want to sleep on deck. This will put the total over your stated limit. If the extra guests use our shower and bathroom can you allow this.
- Can you arrange for some extra water toys for our charter? Like maybe an extra small skiff for the kids, or a wake board or a sailboard?
